MAS-IPSP

The Movement for Socialism-Political Instrument for the Sovereignty of the Peoples (MAS-IPSP) is a socialist party in Bolivia founded on 1 January 1998 by Evo Morales. MAS-IPSP's goal was to defend coca farmers from the United States' efforts to eradicate the cultivation of the plant (which was processed into cocaine on many occasions), and while the party supported the nationalization of all fossil fuel companies, it also pursued a policy of environmentalism. In 2016, the party held 88/130 Chamber of Deputies seats and 25/36 Senate seats.
